This week nearly wrecked me. It was the first week of summer camp. Summer camp is worse than school. I have to get up just as early to feed the kids breakfast, then I also have to pack lunches for them and coat them in sunscreen before they leave. Then I have to unpack and wash all the lunch containers when they get home. I have to plan their lunches in advance and shop for them, and do extra things, like find T-shirts for tie-dye day. The kids make more laundry, because they have to shower and change when they get home. It’s hard to keep up with it all. I know I’ll get into the swing of things in a couple of weeks. For now, though, I am so glad that it’s finally Friday and that this first week is behind us.
Random Quote
People ignore [song lyrics] half the time. In a certain way, it’s the sound of the words, the inflection and the way the song is sung and the way it fits the melody and the way the syllables are on the tongue that has as much of the meaning as the actual, literal words.
